None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

Boy oh boy, I sure have been enjoying August so far this year! I mean really, for the past several years, August is usually a terrible month for us, like take last year for example: we didn't have a single cloud in the sky all month long, and the temps were ranging from 105 to 115F (40 to 46C) EVERY day... but this year on the other hand, so far, we've had quite a bit of rain so far this August (matter of fact, we've had a thunderstorm just about every day this week), and our temps have FINALLY been average/seasonal for us for once at around 87F (30C)... that's quite a stark contrast, is it not?

I hope August'll stay like this all month long, that's be a pleasant capper for my least favorite season.

The heat decided to return for the final week of summer, and man alive, is it a scorcher out today! All things considered though, this HAS been a VERY pleasant summer for a change... with the exception of an occasion week or two period where it did get really hot, we've pretty much been mostly seasonable and comfortable this summer, and have had lots of rain throughout... we haven't had a summer like this since 2003! It's been wonderful, it was nice to be able to survive summer for once!

I'm just a little anxious about September though: forecast models have suggested that September is going to be above average for this pocket of the nation, and September is still usually a pretty warm month for us, though not usually as hot as the previous June, July, and August, so I don't know... I hope we don't start fall off by it still feeling like summer.
